 Deborahjjhayes 12 years ago | For the common things of everyday
God gave men speech in the common way.
For the deeper things men think and feel
God gave poets words to reveal.
But for the heights and depths no tongue can reach
God gave man music , the soul ‘s own speech! |

 Tweety425 12 years ago | life has a way of giving us all ups & downs. many times we can feel we are so low the only thing that will help is to reach for comfort food. comfort never makes a person stronger. knowing that others are struggling too is not much comfort. even though it is a fact. as humans we hate to admit when we are lost, we want to believe we can find our own way. when I’m lost, I like to charge up my mp3 player and listen to my favorite tunes. I love disco, funk & classic rock. Oh yeah, I march to my own drum, always have, and no I do not care I can’t dance like a tv star, I dance because it makes me smile & feel happy. over the past few days I’ve read about people who need help on motivation. music is the best motivator, but can we take it a step further? what if your lost & need motivation? I remember a story about another boy & girl who were lost & used food. they left bread crumbs as a trail to get back home. of course…that didn’t work out for them either – so we must learn from the story & realize food is not the answer for help, making a map is. what kind of map you say? what about a pad of post it notes with what you want to happen. On the mirror: post a note that says: your beautiful~! (honestly you are but you have forgotten) On the fridge: post a note that says: shake your booty~! (you know you love to, go get that music quick! and shake that booty now) inside the fridge: post a note at eye level reminding you of your goal to trim down (hey, you joined the club it’s a goal!) On the phone: post a note that says: I love you~! (you gotta love yourself first) for myself, I often use an entire pad to remind myself of all the things life has caused me to forget when it’s throwing me up & down. I post them all over the house (it’s easy enough to take them down & repost) You have to be the one who loves yourself the most in this world, even though we are caretakers of people who also need us & our love. Leave notes for them too. 🙂 when you begin to hear the words of hate the world throws in your face, grab up those tunes & get happy. don’t listen to hate, listen to music ~ be happy. Dance, Smile, Laugh, create a new YOU. Be strong – you are SO worth it. |
